11 projects across Canada have been awarded $250,000 dollars including the ALUS Saskatchewan Assiniboine Project which will work with farmers to help conserve wetlands in the Assiniboine Watershed, located in the Yorkton area where wetlands are highly impacted by intense agricultural cultivation. The money comes from the 2018 Loblaw Water Fund managed by World Wildlife Fund Canada. Liz Hendricks from WWF Canada says the fund has been going for four years and has funded almost 50 projects across the country. This year projects range from improving fish passages in New Brunswick to helping protect wetlands here in Saskatchewan. Hendricks adds WWF is excited to be working with farmers as they’re great stewards of the land. All the projects funded by the 2018 Loblaw Water Fund can be found at:
